that's what I wrote, but not what I meant :-) I do like the sound of it
though, but really what I meant to say was:
EXECUTE var1 INTO var2
but this assumes a number of things, namely that executing var1 will return
only one field, and one row. I guess that would be:
Allow PL/pgSQL EXECUTE to return a single variable outside a loop
